Kehan Xu

I am a first-year computer science PhD student at Dartmouth College, advised by Prof. Wojciech Jarosz. I completed my master's degree in computer science at ETH Zurich, where I was fortunate enough to work with amazing supervisors from Disney Research Zurich and Intel. I hold a bachelor's degree in computer science from Peking University.

Research

My research focuses on physically-based rendering and light transport algorithms. I find rendering both fascinating and captivating, as it brings together diverse knowledge from physics, mathematics, computer science theory, and innovative software engineering techniques to create stunning visual effects.

Our unbiased algorithm automatically approximates the optimal volume scattering probability for efficient volume rendering based on learned noise characteristics between volume and surface contributions.

Miscellaneous

In my leisure time, I enjoy creating digital illustrations and watching musicals.
I speak quite fluent Japanese.
